The EZ TV Platform also offers a robust digital signage suite with easy-to-use signage authoring, administration, and analytics tools.

Furthering the value of the system, the platform’s new video wall capability simplifies deployment and management of projects involving IPTV, digital signage, and video wall content, while delivering a breathtaking visual experience.
